In this course, students will have an opportunity to practise and develop their written competence in English by investigating text types typically found in cultural and media-related professions and by writing texts of their own in professional contexts. Text types produced will include summaries, reviews, reports and critiques for publication in literary or cultural journals. There will also be an opportunity to practise producing texts that require cross-cultural mediation between German and English such as written translation and summarization of German texts in English. Particular attention will be given to accuracy of expression, appropriacy of style and to cultural/discoursal dimensions of professional writing in English.
This course will be taught asynchronously.
Einschreibung per E-Mail an: michael.davies@hu-berlin.de bis Mi., 28. Oktober 2020 unter Angabe des Fachsemesters sowie bereits belegter Sprachpraxiskurse im Studiengang MA English Literatures. |
